For electric playing (rare) I always like having two distortions; a Rat with the gain turned as close to nil as possible, just to goose a small tube amp (the other part of the equation). Then something that it just totally overwhelmingly chaotic and out of control. Smooth, creamy distorsh doesn't really work for me.
The Fuzz Factory is very cool, but someone mentioned Devi Ever/Effector 13 stuff, which I've come to prefer. My FAVORITE pedals (he has a huge selection of pedals, all distortions, many with joysticks/photo eyes and other weird controllers). Completely out to lunch. I have a Truly Beautiful Disaster, which contains not only the crazy self-oscillating fuzz, but also a feedback loop for messing up other pedals, plus a photo eye for controlling said loop, and in addition an "Aenima" which Devi sold me for only $60 because it was a bit out of spec. They both oscillate forever when you want them to and seem to have a near-limitless palette of sounds, from dying-synth sputters to AM-radio static to solid square-wave fuzz and unpredictable octave jumps. Definitely the thing to reach for when you want bandmates to stare at you in horror/amazement, wondering if your equipment is all broken. Really entertaining.
